Finding
Bargain Basement Accommodations

One
of the things I've noticed through my many travels is that people often give up
on the possibility of a good deal before even trying to get one. paket liburan murah ke bali piranti travel, The art of
bartering seems to be a lost art as is the art of comparison-shopping. When it
comes to travel and vacation, every penny that you save on accommodations,
food, and transportation is one more penny you have to spend on entertainment
and adventure.

There
are certainly plenty of both to be had in the wonderful city of New York and a vacation here is much like Alice's adventures in wonderland. There is
just so much to do and see that it is almost impossible to know where to begin.
I recommend making arrangements to save money before ever arriving in the city.
One of the ways you can do that is by investing a little time each evening and
making copious notes about whom you've talked to where and what they've had to
offer you as far as price and perks for accommodations.

Most
hotels today are quite willing to offer incentives to their guests in order to
have warm bodies filling their beds. All good managers know that a filled bed
earns them more money than empty beds under their care and the more money
earned under their care, the more secure their positions. That being said, if
you take wonderful notes about the other hotels you've discussed tentative
arrangements with you are very likely to be able to strike a deal with one or
more of them that is far more favorable then the original deal offered.

This
of course, will not work if you are trying for a weekend that is likely to be a
popular travel weekend so if you're considering a popular holiday or extended
weekend for your trip this is probably not the best idea and you should
probably be glad for any offer you can find. paket tour thailand murah piranti travel, That being said almost any other
weekend on the planet is fair game unless there are some very large and popular
local events that may be drawing a sell out crowd for the local hotel industry.

Back
to what I was saying, you can often not only get a better price by going
between two competing hotels, but also added perks like tickets to shows, free
meals, spa packages at the hotels spa, gift certificates to the hotel gift
store. There are often little things a manager is willing to do in order to get
your business with the assumption (often correct I might add) that he will make
up the differences in add-ons and other purchases.

Some
managers may get annoyed and confuse being frugal with being cheap. Please
remember to tip properly. It's one thing to save money by being frugal and
another thing to do so by simply being cheap. If you do not treat the staff
well they will remember you long after you're gone. But that's another story
all together. The trick is in always being polite when dealing with managers on
the phone and going with your best deal.

It
is also important that you realize the best deal may not be in the cheapest
room. If you're getting one or two meals each day of your staying and only
paying $5 0r $10 more a day for the privilege then you are very well coming out
ahead in the bargain, particularly if one of those meals is dinner. paket tour singapore piranti travel,
